Well, if I had to out myself by explicitly stating what I am, then it defeats the whole purpose. The whole point of being a whore, a sophisticated hedonist, is secrecy: the ability to conceal who you truly are, revealing it only to those who dare to come close enough to discover it. I reckon that outright exposure of your nasty, libertine self is little more than posturing for sex, and cheap posturing at that. The ability to disguise yourself, to let people wonder rather than know, is what separates the true whores from the vulgar, make-believe ones.
We all saw how the gridlock on Benin road made the person transporting catfish lose all the fish because they’ve been stranded there for days now.
That’s a prime example of “You cannot outwork a failed country”.
As you’re trying your best, the country keeps pulling you back.
Dr. Obafemi is living in an economic illusion.
If you earn ₦100,000 a month and decide to live in areas with “affordable” rent, commuting can cost up to ₦4,000 a day.
Over a month, that totals ₦80,000 just on just transportation, which leaves only ₦20,000 from a ₦100,000 monthly salary.
You can not outsave a failing economy
I have consistently continued to respectfully appeal to those in office today to prioritise reconstruction and maintenance of existing roads and other infrastructure over commencing new ones.
I left someone in Onitsha on Saturday night to take the first bus to Lagos on Sunday morning. Until I left Lagos at 8 pm yesterday, he had not arrived in Lagos. He only arrived in Lagos at about 2 pm today. A journey that usually takes a maximum of 8 hours now takes nearly two days.
This is not just about bad roads. It is about lost man-hours, stranded passengers sleeping on highways, wasted fuel, damaged vehicles, delayed goods, and businesses losing millions of naira.
Nigerians do not need new projects just for the headlines. We need functional roads that make life and economic activity possible.
A government must understand that infrastructure is not necessarily about the size of the project; it is about the number of lives and livelihoods it improves.
A new Nigeria is POSSIBLE, and Nigeria will be OK. -PO
Seeing my brother go through such a serious and painful situation is heartbreaking. I know the person he is, and I truly believe there is more to this situation than what people may have heard, this is not the time to chase clout, we all know poco to be a joy giver and this is when he needs us the most. May we never be in situation where only God is our witness.
Today, I must bring to the attention of all Nigerians an alarming act of political intimidation. As the NDC candidate for Surulere 1, alongside Mr. Peter Obi and other NDC supporters, I was dismayed to see over 50 of my big campaign banners removed by the APC-led Lagos State Signage LASAA. This was carried in their truck with security escorts.These banners, placed in public spaces, were taken down while APC banners remained intact.
Their spokesperson of the LASAA told me that the poles were lagos government property and it has been assigned to “ Outdoor Practitioners”
They claim to take it Alausa, only for me to discover this evening that my banners are hidden somewhere in the surulere Local Government Area in onilegogoro
I ask: what right does the signage agency have to silence us during this crucial election season? INEC has lifted all bans to ensure free campaigning, and we will not accept this bullying. Meanwhile, Barakat,s banner is still intact , Fuad,s posters are all over the place
I call on all Nigerians to see what the APC government is doing to us and to question why they fear a fair contest.
I also call on the national leadership of the NDC to investigate this intimidation and demand that APC stop this bullying of opposition parties.
These are my banners they carried
Meanwhile these “Signage abusers of office left all the APC banners alone
Signed,
Dr. Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo
NDC, House of Reps, Surulere 1.
Young kings, do not go on dates to make people like you. Rather, go on dates with people that already like you.
Absolutely funner that way.
Don’t go wasting your hard earned Tinubu’s Naira feeding femmes in interviews.
Why is it that when we say… “Life happened to the person”
It means ‘misfortune’
Can’t LIFE depict something good ?
Is life primarily designed to be an unfortunate place ?
You appointed a Minister
You sacked that Minister for corruption
Today, you appointed that corrupt person to the Presidential Campaign Council
This government has no morals
I often think of my place in this country and how sometimes my head goes, Tinubu hasn't been that bad a president because I can afford my own needs.
My activism is borne out of camaraderie not personal lack.
Because judging by my personal experience alone both Buhari and Tinubu haven't been bad presidents. How can I think they have been when my own life has improved significantly?
I often have to live out of my own experience and put on the shoes of the common man to be able to maintain my resolve that they have been terrible presidents.
No I believe they have been terrible presidents, that's what the evidence shows.
But I have figured ways to insulate myself from those experiences which makes acknowledging the evidence something I have to be intentional about.
I want to live in a country governed by the rule of law. That's my only ask.
A country where people who do the right moral things are not punished and criminlas are rewarded.
You give me this, I can do the rest.
Hurts me to say this: Africa will not be saved by entrepreneurship. We cannot vibecode ourselves into the 4th industrial revolution. We still need to industrialize. To achieve this, we need stronger and better public institutions. We need extremely competent leaders at the helm.
The avg Nigerian is a principle-less, spineless loud mouth whose entire perception on morality is shaped by how much of any situation adversely affects him or benefits him.
This is why he's hesitant to dismatle the structures that oppress him because he hopes that one day, he'll be the one with the power and he doesn't want the avenue to oppress others closed to him.
